    Dragoon Meriting

    Would love some suggestions for how to properly merit a Dragoon. Any help/builds would be appreciated.

    I'm not a pro drg, but I did 1 angon 4 empathy 5 deep breathing. As for group 1, I did jump and high jump recast, because I don't think 30 seconds off spirit link isn't gonna significantly improve my wyvern's survivability if I'm in a situation where it takes a lot of damage anyway. High jump recast down to 2:30 will however let me get that huge TP boost from soul jump a bit more often.

    5/5 High Jump
    5/5 Angon
    5/5 Deep Breathing

    I do recommend at least one merit into Angon. I have 5/5 because my DRG was the only DD job I had when I was in a HNM/Event linkshell that was allowed (BLU sometimes... PUP was never allowed at HNMs /cry) Also that 1:30 duration for -20% DEF, which most monsters can't overwrite, is hot.

    I did 4/5 angon 5/5 DB and 1 Empathy. Empathy only so I can give Shell5 to Wyvern and so I can Spirit Link to transfer Wyvern TP even if my Wyvern is at 100%.

    I focused on boosting my wyvern:
    Jump and HighJump: 2, Spirit Link: 5, Ancient Circle: 1
    DB: 4, Angon: 3, Strafe: 1, Empathy: 2

    I know most people merit down Jumps, but I didn't feel like I needed to shave off those few extra seconds

    Jump / High Jump for sure. Depends how you play / what you like for group two. I need to change mine around a bit since Restoring breath was added you would probably want 5/5 Deep Breathing there. Then probably 4/5 Empathy and 1/5 Angon just so you have Angon option if you kill hard shit with dragoon.

    It really depends on what kinda Dragoon you wanna be. If you wanna be more focused on yourself, merit jump and high jump and angons. If you wanna focus on your wyvern merit empath and deep breathing and strafe. If you wanna be middle of the road do both. Personally I focused on myself cuz my wyvern dies way too much for my tastes.
    5x jump
    5x high jump
    4x Angon
    4x Deep breathing
    1x empathy
    1x strake

    Super jump and ancient circle are well...kinda silly

    Did 5/5 jump, 5/5 high jump, 5/5 deep breathing and 5/5 angon

    I've been debating dropping a deep breathing or 2 in place of empathy just for the few times it actually is useful (shell V, as others have said). Angon will likely never change, as there are still at least SOME NMs you don't just zerg down in an instant (voidwatch stuff, odin, etc).

    Never quite understood why people merit stuff like strafe, or worse yet ancient circle. I mean really?

    Angon is very potent, and the recast isn't bad, either. It's worth maxing out. Between 2 Drgs, a mob would have Defense down on full time.

    I maxed out Deep Breathing for frequent, potent Cure Breaths.

    5/5 High Jump (It affects Soul Jump which is as of now the jump with highest TP return, and meriting jump is just not worth it seen how few secs it takes off)
    5/5 Spirit Link (Wyvern MUST stay alive!!)
    ----
    5/5 Deep Breathing (A cure V (with proper HB gear) every 5 mins? Yes please!)
    3/3 Angon (For zergs)
    2/2 Empathy (For at least two buffs on your wyvern)

    This is what I merited on DRG back in 2007 and never felt the need to change them. Hope it helps^^
